Great pair!  My favorite is "The Sound Of Silence", followed by "I Am A Rock" and "The Boxer".  8)

A deuced difficult one and no mistake...

I went for 'Mrs Robinson' (as did Mr Hoffman!!), closely followed by 'I Am A Rock' and 'Bookends' (strangely haunting...)

For all music lovers out there, try not to listen to 'The Sound Of Silence' as performed by the ever-smiling Irish trio - The Bachelors...painful!!

Thanks for the warning, Paul!  :D

Difficult decision !  I went with other, 'April Come She Will' closely followed by 'The Sound Of Silence'.

Hard choice ... I chose The Boxer.

These four by them I like the most...

Bridge over Troubled Water
The Boxer
America
Hazy Shade of Winter

and my favorite would be between Boxer and Bridge, but I went with "The Boxer" tonight. :)

I'm surprised no one has done a S&G music poll until now.

;) ;D

Scarborough Fair  :)

Other:  So long Frank Lloyd Wright

How about "All of the above"? I LOVE S&G and really can't choose. Besides all the songs on the list, I also like "My Little Town", "America", and "Hazy Shade of Winter",

I agree.....I don't think there's any of their songs that I really hate, quite honestly. (except maybe Somewhere They Can't Find Me, but that wasn't a hit; just an album track) But I chose other, since my absolute favorites have to be The Dangling Conversation (not a real big hit from them, but I love it) and Kathy's Song. An absolutely beautiful song. Anyone else like that one too?

Oh, and America!  :)

I'm surprised no one has done a S&G music poll until now.

Before I started this poll I went through all the pages to see if there was a S&G poll already up.  To my surprise, there wasn't!

Bridge Over Troubled Water

I'm suprised to see my fave in the lead: 

The Boxer

Paul Simon is my fave singer/songwriter.  If I pick this as #1, then there's a huge tie at #2.  ;)

And, redhead007, Kathy's Song would be in my top 5.

I chose Mrs. Robinson although I really like the song Cecilia.

Other:  So long Frank Lloyd Wright


I couldn't think of the song name last week, but Faking It, is probably my fave, Frank Lloyd Wright is 2nd :)

I chose the flip-side of Bridge and went with "Keep The Customer Satisfied" :)

Mrs. Robinson

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Too easy and cliche to say Mrs. Robinson. But I like Sounds of Silence and Hazy Shade of Winter.

Tanya

Sounds Of Silence tied with Cecilia

Sounds of Silence :)

Homeward Bound followed by The Rock

I am a rock, I am an Island
And a rock feels no pain
and an island never cries.

Wow, how many times did I sing that to myself while growing-up?  :-\\

Other:

I like them all

A Story.......a long time ago I was still at school and got talked into parting with my hard earned cash for a ticket to see the Beatles ( cannot stand the Beatles)
Went to the gig didn't hear one word they sang, headache.... went home.
The day after I heard that there was these 2 americans turned up at the folky pub I sometimes went to, Great, Fantastic.....Simon and Garfunkel in Camden London, in a pub, Free.  I hated the Beatles even more....still do. With the exception of George Harrison who in my opinion had the most untapped talent than the other 3 put together.

Scarborough Faire
Cecilia
For Emily...
America
Bookends

Sounds Of Silence tied with Cecilia


need to add For Emily,Wherever I May Find Her  :)

I said Cecilia, but it was hard.  I love The Boxer.  I also like 59th St. Bridge Song and Red Rubber Ball.  Plus their standards.

Was anyone else at their free Central Park concert in NYC (1982 maybe?).  What a blast.

The Boxer.  That song is just.......I get chillbumps and the whole nine whenever I hear it.  Especially the ending of the song when the strings come in over their vocals.  Just a beautiful piece of art that song is.

Had to go with "I am a Rock".  For what he sang with irony, I sing with conviction.

But thanks to a "Mrs. Robinson" a few years back, I'm OK with that. Had the best, don't need the rest. 

So here's to you, Mrs. Robinson, even though you'll never read this board.
Bo-ho-hoard.
Whoa-ho-hoard. :)

Other - 'Frank Lloyd Wright' from 'Bridge over troubled water.' Underrated.

This was really hard, as there is NO Simon & Garfunkel song I do not love.  I chose The Boxer.

so many good songs but I pick Bridge Over Troubled Water and then The Boxer
